Is the order in which email messages get retrieved from an IMAP account controlled by the IMAP server software (user specific inbox configuration) or is this order controllable via a PowerTCP Mail property or method? Thanks! Malcolm Greene

It sounds like what you want to do is get the header info first, then get the messages in the order you wish, one at a time.

For any lurkers reviewing this post: I guess my host email account is assigning message numbers in descending order? Strange but true. When I retrieve my email messages I always get my newest email messages first. Email system is Netscape's most recent version as of Dec 2003. Malcolm
